After repeatedly saying she “cannot” talk about her pending DUI charge, Broward Circuit Judge Lynn Rosenthal eventually conceded to the Sun Sentinel’s editorial board Tuesday that she “won’t speak” about it.

Since her May 27 arrest on two counts of driving under the influence, Rosenthal has not returned calls to Sun Sentinel reporters seeking comment about the case.

But the judge, who is in the midst of an election campaign, did show up Tuesday for an interview with the newspaper’s editorial board and her opponent, defense attorney Frantz “Jahra” McLawrence.

But still, Rosenthal remained mum about “the incident.”

“As much as I would like to talk, I really cannot do it at this stage, but at some point I will,” she said.

Rosenthal, 56, is accused of driving to work at the Broward County courthouse while under the influence of drugs, striking a parked patrol car and repeatedly hitting the gate of the judges’ parking lot with her BMW , according to the Broward Sheriff’s Office.

She was also accused of driving into a concrete median on Interstate 595 shortly before her arrest.

Deputies said Rosenthal admitted to taking an Ambien pill the night before her 8:45 a.m. arrest, and although she was unsteady on her feet and was speaking with a slurred voice, she did not appear to have been drinking alcohol.

Rosenthal submitted to a breath test but refused to give blood or urine samples to test for the presence of drugs in her system.

“I don’t know what happened, I wasn’t there,” McLawrence told the editorial board Tuesday. “But whatever happened, she was about to take the bench, and she was about to rule on other people’s lives in that condition."

The interview was a series of Rosenthal refusals when it came to any aspect of her arrest.

She declined to comment on why she initially prevented release of her jail mug shot.

“There is a judicial process, and I don’t want to comment,” Rosenthal said. “At some point all of this will come out.”

She also declined to disclose what medication she had on her when she was arrested. It has been redacted on her jail property receipt.

“As much as I would like to talk, I really cannot do it at this stage, but at some point I will,” Rosenthal said.

She also declined to specify why voters should re-elect a judge with a pending DUI charge.

“As much as I’d like to speak about it, there is a judicial process and I cannot speak about it,” Rosenthal said.

When pressed, Rosenthal eventually conceded that it wasn’t a matter of not being able to speak about it, but rather she has opted not to.

“The law doesn’t preclude me from talking,” she said. “I won’t speak about the case at this time.”
